Bikes fell off roof rack on way to Lake Placid

Just heard a second hand report that some people from my gym had their bikes fall off the bike rack on the way to Lake Placid. Needless to say - bikes mushed good. (sorry I don’t have pictures)

I believe both bikes were new this year. At least they were riding Cervelos, which as a major sponsor should have a few bikes on hand.

Anybody hear anything about it? What a nightmare.

If you find anything out - and they need parts let me know. I can FedEx what ever they need. I even have a 55cm P3 that I could send out in a flash (and would expect everything back the way I sent it)…

let me know…

Bummer!

There’s a ST occasional poster whose bike and luggage has yet to make it to Placid. Hopefully everything will arrive today.

I am willing to make my ride available to anyone affected by this - but am in Ohio

Typical deal. Happens twice a week minimum here.

Jihad against external car racks.

Unfortunately we cannot all drive around in the Partridge Family bus. When i have my baby and/or my dogs in the car the bikes are staying on the roof. If they get hurt, I collect insurance and buy others (from Bikesport).

and if it’s a little dog … glove box

I wish.

Jihad against external car racks.

People die in car crashes every day. Jihad against cars! Kids drown in swimming pools every day. Fill them all with concrete! Your logic is flawed. Roof racks are still a viable product for many many people.

I need racks, with the new E, I will have a Yak rack on top with 4 carriers and 4 wheel mounts, Im sure it will look like it was straight out of a grand tour, just need the Mavic stickers on the side, whatever …

anyway ~

with 4 passengers and bikes, 4 bags, I need the 4 mounts to carry the road bikes or 2 riders and 2 bikes to a stage race
